Recreation

We desire that people at Osborne develop both spiritually and physically—sharing God’s word and maintaining their bodies as temples of God. The Recreation Ministry coordinates recreation activities for the church. Our main goal is to provide a place where the entire family can enjoy a fun-filled time together in a positive atmosphere and grow, not only physically, but spiritually to the glory of God.
